My fall squash and cucumbers have been attacked by worms that drill into the fruit. What are the pests, and how do you control them?

Melon and pickle worms love these crops and also cantaloupes. A moth lays eggs that hatch into larvae and they bore into the fruit to feed and grow. The first sign of attack is a hole in the fruit oozing with excreta from the insects.

Use frequent sprays of a bacillus thuringiensis-containing natural insecticide, such as Dipel or Thuricide, starting when the fruit forms, and repeat as suggested on the label. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
